“And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child” (Luke 2:3-5).
Mary may have been physically and emotionally drained on her trip to Bethlehem. We too, may find ourselves in the same condition on our journey to the Promised Land. She may have found it hard to understand why she would have to be traveling in the condition she was in and why things had to be so hard. Do you ever find yourself entertaining those kinds of thoughts? You know that God sees what’s going on and it just doesn’t seem to be in His plan to change the situation. We have to be like Mary, not understanding though still believing; we just have to keep traveling until we reach our destination.
